A 44-year-old man from Midale is dead after being struck by a semi on Highway 39, just north of Estevan, at around 5:50 p.m. Monday.

The man, whose name was not released by RCMP, was the lone occupant of a vehicle pulled over the side of the road. Initial RCMP investigation has determined the man had exited his vehicle and was struck by a passing semi.

The driver of the semi was not injured and remained at the scene until police arrived.

An RCMP Collision Reconstruction investigator attended the scene. Traffic was detoured for a period of time, and was re-opened late Monday night.
